# Recon44: Real-Time Web Security & Attack Blocking

> Recon44 scans your site for vulnerabilities, shows every attack in real time, and automatically blocks malicious IPs before they reach your server.

Recon44 gives you instant visibility into every attack targeting your website — and stops the bad ones automatically. Point one DNS record at Recon44, and you get a live threat feed, continuous vulnerability scanning, and edge-level IP blocking with no code required.
